[quote=Anonymous]Lifer family who was very happy at Sidwell.  We had the same reaction to the difference between Admissions and all others in the community.  And through many changes in admissions staff, it's always been the same although they are lovely, warm people inside the community.  My guess is that 1.  The numbers applying are massive and the staff is small  2.  Perhaps subconsciously they don't want to set up false hope and do a disservice to families, which might result in them not applying widely.  We all understand how tough admissions is for all the schools.  3.  To ratchet down the intensity and divert basic questions to other resources.  There's a lot of information on the website.  I used to help with tours and it is amazing how many families just visit because they're curious and don't do any homework.  And why the crazy about Sidwell?  At least for this family, it was the best experience I could ever imagine for my kid and the whole family.  It went way beyond the education.  That community saw us through happy and really bad times.  Made friends for life within the school and families.[/quote]
